We all know the Metalzone is great, but how does it sound in the room?

Overall sounds rather dope

About 25 years ago when I started playing, my friend had a Boss MT2 Metal Zone. We always thought it sounded awesome.

The Lewitt microphone is the one that pleasantly surprises me the most in every In-The-Room video.

I’ve used a metal zone for over a year now and have honestly had no desire to get a different distortion. Love this pedal. Once you get it dialed in thing sounds amazing!

Metalzone sounds amazing. Never understood the hate for it.

@trendkill3333

All the hate is from people who don’t know how to use it and put in front of the Amp rather than in the FX loop. Putting in front of an amp makes it sound garbage

It's the new generation hating on it. 80's and 90's didn't have as much high gain amps and scooped mids were super popular in that era so pedals were used a lot. Also it was the most gain you could get on your little bedroom practice amp. So it was able to do what everyone wanted. It was used on Slaughter of the soul. Primus used it. tons used it in the nineties. Only in the last 15 years does everyone want the exact same carbon copy 5150 tone. Also people have no idea how to used the parametric eq properly. So the kids never figured it out properly and when they bought an amp that had a simpler eq section they just assumed the MT-2 was crap, when it's their ignorance.

Metalzone was my first ever pedal. Brought me the magic of distortion for the first time, how could anyone ever hate something that can do that?! In all seriousness though, I think that sounds great, you hit the nail on the head. if you know how to dial it in properly and not go crazy with the settings, it can sound great.

Actually this is a brilliant illustration of the benefits of recording with a room mic. And obviously, the HUGE difference each microphone makes. Amazing video!

IN THE ROOM is the best series on the channel! more please, most of us bedroom players dont care that much about how shit sounds recorded and mixed.

Metal Zone is my favorite pedal ever. I've never really done much recording so I'm really surprised at just how much different those mics all sound, but I have to say that the Lewitt was by far the best sounding. Great vid Ola!

THIS is soooo long over due. Thank you vey much for doing the 'In The Room' series. Please keep it up.

It blows minds! Would like to see and hear more of this series! Keep it going!

Is it just me, or did he just accidentally nail Chuck Schuldiners tone with the ts9 through a metal zone?? Sounds very Symbolic/The Sound of Perseverance to me🤔

Your artist geisha skills liked a couple of my Instagram videos this morning and it really gave me a boost of motivation to keep playing. I grew up playing a metal zone and it was life for all of us. I started playing again a few months ago because of your videos. I’ll have my solar soon!

I love the “room mic” setup because it doesn’t leave you with “expectations”

I've loved the metalzone since the 90's,was my first pedal as a teenager.

Oh very nice scene setup with the doors open behind! Looks beautiful!

Thank you for playing The Haunted's Trespass on 6:30. "EVH 5150 50W - The Haunted Trespass Play through" is my favourite video of yours)

That Lewitt mic got me like🤤🤤🤤🥰🥰🥰🥰 I love my metal zone original pedal!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Awesome, as always. Had an Metal Zone, a while back. Hated it direct, but absolutely loved it in the effects loop. One of a handful of pedal distortions that actually sounds better through the loop. Lent it to a friend, who I've not heard from in ages, but, I'm loving my XXX II through good Celestions, just as much. I'm definitely adding another one to my pedal board, which will NOT be lent out. Lol. Thanx, again, Ola. Keep on Chuggin'.

You can never go wrong with BOSS METALZONE!

Gotta love the Metalzone. Great sound as always 💚

Such pleasant relaxing sounds

Sick Pedal Sick Guitar Sick Amp and a SICK GUITARIST (As always) thanks. for making my morning! 🤘

Amazing "mics" job 😉 top quality production! 🤟 Constantly improved skills 👍

Such an underrated pedal. A damn monster when dialed in good!!

"And today, I'm gonna try out the Metal Zone! ... ... 'cause I need views." Gotta admire the honesty right there!!! Hahahahahaha

O have one bro .. is fucking awesome

The single mics were a little disorienting, but the blended mics sounded really good and you can hear the full range of frequencies that the amp is putting out. Great idea.

I use one as an EQ and it works great, never use the distortion because I overuse it! But I was inspired to start using my first generation metal zone (yes I'm that old) after your excellent video on using it in the fx loop. Long time lurker, first time commenter!

Love your shirt, Ola!

Honestly, I'm convinced that your picking technique makes everything sound good.

I bought a metal zone because of your first video along with a Marshall dsl-1. I DO use it in front of the amp with the gain up around a quarter and in that amp it works like a normal distortion pedal would. Love the content keep it up Ola! Ps. Still get chills when I hear trespass.

the first boss metalzone video you made had me wanting one so i went out and got it and im loving it lol

Very good as usual! Keep going Ola! Greating from Saint-petersburg!

Sounds awesome Ola. Can never go wrong with Neuman Mics for micing a cabinet. My producer uses a Neuman and a Mic that looks like an Audix Mic, but it actually has no name on it, for micing cabs in his studio, they sound killer together. All mics combined sounded perfect and spot on. Awesome Video Ola!! Take care man!!🤘🏻🤘🏻

Soo...the best tones I here in this chanel!💪

InnnnnDahRoom!! That guitar is sick, sir... SICK!!

Never has a sweet little MT-2w seen so much care and mic love. 🤙🏼

Awesome sounds ... good 👍👍👍👍👍👍

The first video of yours that popped into my news feed was your first Metal Zone video. I've been watching ever since, 2 years now. I've had a Metal Zone for 14 years. I never knew it was a shitty pedal until I got the internet. I always loved the thing

5:36 Best Rob impression ever. Ok, it's the only one exists but still...

I really liked the Lewitt and also All mic's before tube screamer

i love this series .. more in the room please ..

Ola great review I have the petal and this is what it would sound like if you were in. The room with someone using it. Good job man

Me: Ola what's your favorite mic? Ola: Yes!

One of my favourite pedal of all time, No matter what others talk about it

There isn't a specific fav mic but I like the blended up sound

Sounded great to me once tweaked!

Wonderful!

That LCT640 room mic provides a prefect representation of “in the room.”

Damn that OC18 sounds awesome, and the Lewitt too.

God! I love the Austrian Audio OC18 This microphone sounds amazing

The sm58 and the tlm 102 sound real good but the OC 18 WOW that sounds the best. Metal zone never dissapoints.

The Metal Zone is such a strong pedal. It's the only one I use for distortion. Owned it for 12 years. Great stuff, Ola.

I love this series

I miss this series, Ola.

Cool video Ola!!!

Ola rocks on any gear!

That LEWITT mic holy shit it catches the room sound and brings out the oomph boost in that guitar tone, the Austrian mic captures some type of crisp trebel tones..overall sounds insane

Do love the sound of that

Also my V1.6RBOP Artist LTD just shipped, such a good lunch break.

Every time I buy a more expensive and popular pedal im disappointed and fall back to the metalzone. This thing is great!

Sounds awesome.

Love metal zone waza! ♥️♥️♥️

love the vid Ola!! The mic i i liked most, in this vid, is the Lewitt LCT640!!

Lewitt mic sounds really good

DAYAM!!! That Lewit LTC 640 Sounds amazing !!!

Nice guitar Ola!

Awesome sound

MT-2 is my favourite effector!!! 👌🏻👍🏻

Sounds amazing

0:55 I love the sound of the "aaaarghh" Microphone in the room, love the name of it more 😂

I have that pedal it melts my FACE I love it

great tone on machinehead’s davidian! perfect fit

sounds sick

Great job. I personally like the Austrian Audio and a close second would be the mic used for the vocals. Needing a mic so this video gave me a few to check out. Thanks

Always sounds brutal ola.

That guitar’s rad!

I use that pedal , with overdrive love the harmonics that come even unexpectedly, for lead I switch to hotone djent distortion with delay and reverb

That was pretty sick.

Sounds impressive ola \m/

It’s like you were thinking about me when you made this hahah Awesome video

Jesssssss....us when the blend Mic Sound coming ...amazing🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Funny, I was just jamming with my MetalZone using my Jackson Strat into my Boss Nextone when you uploaded this. At 5 AM. The neighbors probably hate me!

You had me at thrashing at E!

I love that riff @ 6:34!!!

5:35 "freedoobliimm shockam blyah" - O.Englund 2020

Great on Ola. I just listen to some old Machine Head😎🤘

No lies. If you can’t make heavy metal music with this set up (and decent microphones) then you can’t do tone. The first couple sounds were awesome, the TS9 was awesome. I hate the pedal but done this way, it’s solid state but its really nice. Partly why I just used a 5150 emulation all the time, no tweaks. You need tight tones with enough gain. That is all you need.

That tone was gnarly while playing Davidian!!!

YES

I have the metal zone ..... I’m gonna say , that awesome solar guitar is doin all the work With that sound IN THE ROOM !

Ola, how to reduce fizz & sizzle in the gain texture, without making the overall sound like a blanket over the speakers?
